BACS details will be sent with the booking form which can be reached by a provisional booking.

The balance is payable in full 8 weeks before the start of the holiday. It is a condition of acceptance of your booking that the whole charge is payable whatever the circumstances of your cancellation.

The booking price will be based on your booking reservation and confirmed in your booking confirmation.

Where your booking reservation is before the balance due date, you must pay the full booking amount. The remaining balance of the booking price must be paid by the balance due date.

Where your booking reservation is made after the balance due date, you must pay the full balance of the booking price at the time of making a booking reservation.

No entry to the property will be permitted where payment of the full booking price has not been made.

Our liability to you

No party can exclude or limit in any way their liability where it is illegal to do so, and this contract does not seek to exclude or limit liability which cannot be excluded or limited by law.

If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of the terms or our negligence. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if they were an obvious consequence of our breach or if it had been brought to our attention by you before the loss or damage occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, we are not responsible for any transport and/or alternative accommodation costs.

We make the property available for domestic and private use only. You agree not to use the property for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

Your rights to cancellations and applicable refunds

We strongly advise you take holiday cancellation insurance when booking, details are enclosed with your booking confirmation. If your reason for cancellation is not covered by the policy you will be liable for the balance. We will do everything we can to re-let the property in which case we will retain the deposit to recover costs.

You may cancel a booking before the arrival date by contacting us in writing using the contact details.

Your liability for booking price is dependent on the property and period of notice that you give us, as set out below. The time and date of the cancellation is when we receive written notice from you. Number of days before arrival date that notification of cancellation is received:

Percentage of booking price payable by you:
At booking - 30% (the booking deposit)
Before 8 weeks of the arrival date - 100%

We will confirm your cancellation with you in writing and notify you of any payment or refund due to you at that time.

If you cancel your booking, we will try and re–let the property. If we are able to re-let the property, we will refund money paid less our administrative costs and subject to any difference in price between the booking price and the re-let price.

Please note that if you need to cancel because you are ill, including where you are showing symptoms of illness (for the avoidance of doubt this includes Covid19 and/or self-isolating due to any other contagious condition), this will be treated as a cancellation by you.

If you depart voluntarily from the property before the departure date, no refund shall be given. Similarly, if you fail to show for your booking this will be regarded as a cancellation on the arrival date and will not be refundable. For example: self-isolation or quarantine, performing statutory duties or mandatory obligations (such as jury duty, military service, incarceration), changes in personal or work circumstances, family emergencies, travel delays, vehicle breakdown, and delays with public transport will all be treated as cancellation by you in accordance with this clause.

Event outside of the parties control

We may have to cancel a booking before the arrival date of your booking due to an event outside of the parties control. We will promptly contact you if this happens.

If we have to cancel a booking and you have made any payment in advance for your booking that have not been provided to you, we will refund these amounts to you in full.

We may cancel your booking at any time with immediate effect by giving you written notice if you:
do not pay us when you are supposed to; or
breach the contract in any other material way, including but not limited to any of these terms

We shall not be liable for any refund if we cancel the contract under any terms concerning enjoying the property terms.

Changes to the booking and/or terms

We may revise these terms from time to time.

If we have to revise these terms, we will give you at least fourteen (14) days written notice of any changes to these terms before they take effect, or as much notice as possible where your arrival date is less than fourteen (14) days before the date of the change.

If you wish to change the dates of your booking or amend your booking in any way, please contact us via our contact details. We cannot guarantee that your requests will be accommodated and reserve the right to charge for any differences in price.

Other important terms

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another individual or legal entity, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these terms.

Except for you and us, no other person shall have any rights to enforce any of these terms.

Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

If you fail to perform your obligations under these terms and we do not enforce our rights against you, this does not mean we have waived our rights against you. If we choose to waive any of our rights under these terms you will be informed in writing.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. All parties agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. However, if you are a resident of Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
